Manfrotto MH055M8-Q5 Overview

The Manfrotto MH055M8-Q5 Photo-Movie Tripod Head provides the best performance for both still photography and videography. The tripod head has a Photo-Video toggle for easily switching between the two modes, and it is primarily meant for DSLR cameras with movie-shooting capabilities.

In Photo mode, the MH055M8-Q5 head offers free movement in all directions just like a typical ball head. Equipped with fluid cartridges and an adjustable counterbalance control, the tripod head provides precise, smooth, and controlled movement.

In Video mode, the head restricts all-direction movement to precise pan-and-tilt operation, which works well with videography. The MH055M8-Q5 head comes with a pan bar and offers fluid movement as well as friction control. The pan bar is reversible for right- or left-handed users and can be quickly detached. An included rest clip allows the pan bar to be attached to a tripod leg after being removed. A Q5 quick-release plate is included.
